An independent advisory group has been set up to oversee what the government's calling the "continual improvement" of its Covid-19 response.
Chaired by Sir Brian Roche, the group is tasked with independently reviewing and providing advice on the public health response, the border, and MIQ.
The Covid-19 Response Minister says the group will report regularly and replace the previous ad-hoc approach to reviews and inquiries.
National says this is a very positive - but also an overdue step. Political reporter Yvette McCullough has more.
